I was very intrigued when this arrived. I think this is an absolutely brilliant idea. Instructions very easy to follow.  Design is very simple and easy to use. This was a very good fit and very stretchy which was good.  Was so easy to fit onto my jeans.  Once fitted very secure as the Velcro is very strong. I can finally still wear my favourite jeans. Once fitted to my jeans this was very comfortable and soft.  I used this every day.  Mainly used this on my jeans. So easy to wash.  The quality is very good. Amazing value for money. I loved how stretch and soft this was and allows you to wear your favourite jeans when pregnant. I would definitely buy this as it is a lot cheaper than buying multiple pairs of new jeans. I would definitely recommend and I already have. I think every pregnant lady should have one. Top marks from me absolutely genius product. Brilliant experience I wish I found these during my first pregnancy it has made choosing outfits a lot easier. Holly Ingram – Lewis 2 Years & Mum to Be

I like the idea as it means you don’t have to buy other maternity trousers or jeans. However I felt that if I was paying for it I’m not sure I would see it as value for money as I have managed to buy two pairs of maternity jeans for the same as the rrp of this product. Instructions were very easy to follow.  Design is good. And I have used the band whilst walking around all day and it stayed in place. I asked for the small and have found that this has been sufficient based on the measurements given. I don’t think I will have the need to use the two larger sizes. Which shows that the size is accurate. I found the band very easy to use and good fit with my jeans. You may need nimble fingers. It may prove a little more difficult when you reach the later stages of pregnancy. I have only used this up to 30 weeks so far. I found the band to be much more secure than I thought it would be. I was very surprised and happy with this. I have been able to wear my favourite jeans up until 30 weeks so far. I found this band comfortable when I have worn it. I have used it once a week at most. This is mostly because for work I wear leggings so don’t need a band like this. I have it used the band to wear jeans. It is easy to wash but because it is hand wash only I feel that it is more of an effort as it can’t be thrown in with other clothes. The quality is ok. However upon opening the first band the Velcro stitching was coming away. Although this has not affected the use etc. as stated in previous answers I think if I was wearing and using the band more frequently it would not last. I think it does offer some value for money. However I think if I had paid for the item and it had arrived with the stitching coming out I would have returned it. And I feel that it seems fairly expensive considering I have purchased maternity jeans for half the price.  I liked that I could wear the jeans that I felt most comfortable in for the duration of the pregnancy.  I would buy this as it was much more effective than I had anticipated. I would recommend especially if they are worried about the cost of maternity clothes and they wear a lot of trousers and jeans in the course of their normal week. I found it very useful and feel that those who are required to wear trousers with a zip and button and wear jeans a lot would benefit massively from this product and it would save them a lot of money. My only dislike is that you need to make sure you have a top on that covers it up. I would have felt uncomfortable if it was visible.  An effective product especially if you wear trousers and jeans the majority of the time. This will save you a lot of money. It allows your favourite jeans to last throughout pregnancy making sure that they stay comfortable throughout. The material and the Velcro used are very soft and you can’t tell that you are wearing it. Charlotte Dennis – Mum To Be

Looked professional and good quality. Great idea to enable you to continue to wear trousers you like. Simple clear instructions. Like that there were picture instructions too, although these were a little small – adequate though. Great design- simple and stylish plus good quality and sturdy. Length fitted my bump well. Sometimes slightly wide for the belt loops but still worked. Once fitted stayed very secure as good quality Velcro. This was ideal to use to enable me to carry on wearing my favourite jeans.  This was comfortable, although I did tend to go for maternity jeans/trousers which I still found more comfortable. I used this once or twice a week. Usually when I wanted to wear something nicer – preferred a baggier top over it rather than something tighter or shorter. Mainly used this on my jeans.  I haven’t actually washed it yet as not worn it that many times.  Good quality material and put together well. Considering how versatile it is, the quality and the fact that you could reuse it in subsequent pregnancies, I would say it is – if you’re likely to use it.  I really liked the quality and the fact that it enables you to wear pre-pregnancy trousers. I would consider it if I was to get pregnant again – or as a present for a friend perhaps. I would recommend as it gives versatility to the outfits you can wear and save on buying lots of new maternity trousers! I really like it and think it’s a great idea. It’s good quality and provides versatility in what you can wear. It could save you money in that you don’t need to buy lots of new maternity trousers. I enjoyed testing this product and getting to wear some of my pre-pregnancy trousers. I just didn’t use it as much as I might as I had maternity trousers from my last pregnancy which I still found more comfortable! Kerry Howard – Hugo 2 Years and Mum to Be
